What Is My IP Address?

The same way any website does — your browser has to send it just to load this page, the same as every other site you visit. We don't need a third party or any special access for that part; it's the country/city/ISP details that come from a lookup service.

Yes, to fetch the country/city/ISP details: we send it to a third-party geolocation API (ip-api.com). This happens automatically when the page loads, not only when you submit a form — different from our other tools, where nothing is looked up until you deliberately enter something. See our Privacy Policy for the full picture.

IP geolocation is an estimate based on how the address was allocated, not a GPS reading — it's usually accurate to city or region level, but can be off, especially on mobile networks, VPNs, or corporate connections that route traffic through a different location than you're actually in.

Yes — enter any IP address in the field to see its location, ISP and reverse DNS instead of your own. Useful for checking what a server's IP publicly reveals before you point a domain at it. Need the full reverse-DNS picture specifically? See PTR / rDNS Lookup.
